Time To Return
His gentle presence touched
my life
some time ago.
His smile warmed the dark recesses
of my heart.
I watched him move, cloistered
behind
my own grief and pain, and
yearned to
know him better.
We touched each other’s lives
but
briefly. Each moving quickly
in his
own direction.
The time had passed, I thought,
the
opportunity gone, to share
my spirit
with his.
But destiny had other ideas.
When it was least expected,
she
found a way to wind our paths
towards each other again.
Now I find my wings spread
wide
and his essence gives flight
to my spirit.
What will come?
what shall be?
Only destiny herself knows.
But I rejoice in the day
and delight in the night’s
share of stars and light.
And in the simple touch
of one person’s soul
to another’s.
